Scottish Rite Enlightenment for

Master Masons

Scottish Rite is a world-wide Masonic Fraternity with a membership of approx. 17,000 in Canada. Its goals are to build upon the moral and philosophic teachings found in the degree work studied in the Craft Lodge, the foundation of all Masonic work.

Scottish Rite is a system of Masonic Degrees that elaborates and supplements the content of the three Craft Degrees. It greatly strengthens and extends their teachings by ritual, dramas, and allegory. It is communicated by skilled degree teams.

Scottish Rite evolved in France and dates from about 1740. In 1786 “Grand Constitutions” were enacted, bringing the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite into more formal existence, increasing the number of degrees to thirty-three, with those holding the 33° as the governing body.

The first Supreme Council in the world was established in Charleston, South Carolina in 1801. In 1868 Scottish Rite Bodies were founded in Canada.

The Supreme Council of Canada was inaugurated in Ottawa, Ontario in 1874.

Membership Requirements

Application for membership in The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of Canada is open to any member of a Canadian Craft Lodge who has been raised as a Master Mason. Continued membership in a Craft Lodge is required to maintain a good standing in the Scottish Rite. Minimum initiation fees have been established by

the Supreme Council, but each Lodge, Chapter and

Consistory fixes its own fees. Each Body also

requires annual dues as fixed by its by-laws. Some

Bodies also have a provision in their by-laws

permitting a member to prepay his dues for the life

of his membership in that Body. That is known as a

commutation of dues.

You will be entitled to wear the Scottish Rite ring

after receiving the fourteenth degree.
